Poster: A snowHead
|
I will be looking for a cheap last minute deal in early January.
Are there any tour operators going there?
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

It's my impression that St Foy is valued for the very fact that tour operators don't go there!
I may be wrong (and I'm sure to be told so forthwith if I am).
It's very close to BSM so if u go down by train the xfer is easy. There has been a new development of accommodation there recently too but I was under the impression that it was being targeted toward private use rather than commercial.
Quite like to more about this myself.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I know someone (French) with a chalet there, and I think there's a British-run one too, can't remember the guy's name offhand. But as U says, it's more of a DIY place. Train + taxi (20 mins from Bourg station).

snowman, there's an independent company with some chalets, but can't remember who. Try a Google search, as I think that's where I saw them.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I would not recommend going to St Foy without a car. It's great there when there is fresh snow but the pistes are rather limited if there has not been snow for a while. On those occasions, with a car, it is a quick trip to either Tignes/ Val d'Isere, Les Arcs, or La Rosiere.

snowman, you can get a listing of all accomodation on www.saintefoy.net. However, as noted elsewhere, its not really a 'cheap deal' kinda place- there are no hotels or tour ops at all, just chalets, mainly privately run.
Having said that, last time i was there i spoke to a chalet host who said the resort is absolutely dead in Jan, so a call direct to those listed on the website would probably be quite productive.
Don't go if you are expecting wild nightlife!

I think it is a off-piste place and has about 3 chairlifts. Easy for those have a problem in counting. Will check it out myself this christmas/New year.

I found this which may or may not be useful, while doing some research for our property, which hopefully will be available next season in Serre Chevalier.
